Optimizing Laser Wakefield Acceleration in the Nonlinear Self-Guided Regime for Fixed Laser Energy
A. Davidson, A. Tableman, P. Yu +5
The scaling laws for laser wakefield acceleration in the nonlinear, self-guided regime [Lu et al. Phys. Rev. Spec. Top. Accel. Beams 10, 061301 (2007)] are examined in detail using…
High quality electron bunch generation using a longitudinal density-tailored plasma-based accelerator in the three-dimensional blowout regime
X. L. Xu, F. Li, W. An +4
The generation of very high quality electron bunches (high brightness and low energy spread) from a plasma-based accelerator in the three-dimensional blowout regime using self-inje…
Controlling the Numerical Cerenkov Instability in PIC simulations using a customized finite difference Maxwell solver and a local FFT based current correction
Fei Li, Peicheng Yu, Xinlu Xu +10
In this paper we present a customized finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) Maxwell solver for the particle-in-cell (PIC) algorithm. The solver is customized to effectively eliminat…
Nano-scale electron bunching in laser-triggered ionization injection in plasma accelerators
X. L. Xu, C. J. Zhang, F. Li +9
Ionization injection is attractive as a controllable injection scheme for generating high quality electron beams using plasma-based wakefield acceleration. Due to the phase depende…
